AUSTIN, Tex. (INTELLIHUB) — After climbing the steps and approaching the Capitol building doors while covering the “Austin 1776 Freedom March” on Saturday, I found myself just feet away from heavily-armed guards, Capitol Police, who had just emerged from inside the building.

One of them gave me an extremely serious ‘don’t mess with me look’ and told me that I absolutely could not film the officer that was holding an AR-15 assault rifle.
